Q: What about my intellectual property?

A: It’s probably better out than in.

Q: Do I have to share equity with my teammates?

A: The “Golden Rule” should apply, but it’s up to you.

Reach quick verbal agreement up front, and don’t team

up with assholes.

Q: Can we use resources outside the room?

A: Yes, we encourage you to pull out all stops.
